Are Hornby points compatible with Peco track?
All Hornby track is compatible with Peco track.
There is a misconception that different brands will not work together. This is not the case as all track for OO scale has 16.5mm spacing between the track.
There is a small difference in colour of the sleepers as well as a difference in spacing of the sleepers. However, once ballasted, this is barely noticeable.
